Automatic sorter

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To prevent a load from being wrong sorted, by also inputting attribute data of the load to be sorted to a shift register in addition to sorting data. CONSTITUTION: Because of bounding motion of a load N or a chattering action of a passing detector 2 and the like, such detection is occasionally performed, for instance, that the load, despite a single load, is wrong sorted as at least two loads. In this device even for such a case as described, attribute data for the load N, for instance, of size, weight and the like, previously input, are compared with detected attribute data from an attribute detector 4 in a mechanism 5, then output of this result stops a driving action for an automatic sorter or clears sorted data of a shift register 1, thus the device can be immediately reset to its regular state. In this way, great confusion in sorting work as conventionally experienced and a large amount of labor required for its restoration work can be eliminated to display a processing function of very high accurate further efficient sorting work.
